Prior to stopping an engine that is being operated at low loads, run the engine at low idle for 30 seconds before stopping. If the engine has been operating at highway speeds and/or high loads, run at low idle for at least three minutes to reduce and stabilize internal engine temperature before stopping the engine.Avoiding hot engine shutdowns will maximize turbocharger shaft and bearing life.
